Edd China's Workshop Diaries 20: A date with destiny. (Fixing the perished Range Rover brake pipe, should the brake pipe really look like a wet twig?)
Just one more thing to fix before we can take our 1986 Range Rover out onto the road and to its MoT test - is this really it? Well, we're about to find out. Surely, now that it runs and it's clean, it's got drive and hopefully brakes that work, it will be ready for its MoT test. Or will we find yet more things that need to be fixed first?...

One big difference here is what is acceptable to drive on the road in one place vs another. In Europe you need an MOT, and insurance to drive. In many parts of the world, if you put fuel in it and it goes forward then its good to go. Derek from VGG would have got this beast running with a boat fuel tank, changed the oil and the trans fluid and as the front 2nd brake circuit sort of works, driven 1000 miles home. If he had temporary insurance (which he normaly does) he would be good to go and it would be perfectly acceptable!.

@clarkwilson3505 2 жыл бұрын

No, what you really mean is real life repairs without all the bad language, busted knuckles, having to cobble up a 'similar' tool because you don't have the exact one you need, having to leave the job halfway to get another replacement widget because you only bought three but need four, finding out that someone before you 'upgraded' a part from a totally different year model, rusty screws rounding off, bolts seizing and shearing, needing an extra pair of hands to lift this, or hold that and worst of all, the Mrs. calling to talk about some nonsense when you are at the most critical point in the job - which is usually every point. Oh, and finding out that some scroat has used the last tea-bag after you boiled the kettle. Let's not talk about getting rusty flakes in your hair, mouth, eyes (even with safety specs one), trying to blow your nose with greasy hands and your gloves springing a hole, covering your fingers with black muck that will take a week to scrub out and you are going to a dinner party that night. Ever notice that a job which you figure will take an hour inevitably ends up taking 5?

@@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074 When you mean 'dramatic', you really mean scripted snowflakes, right? I believe the word you were looking for was 'manstruating'. I couldn't agree more and in that respect, your approach, Edd, is most appreciated for us 'classic car' (and I use the phrase in its loosest possible definition) home mechanics, fettlers and 'CPR' givers. Your workarounds are nicely simple and educational and there's not the editing shortcuts per WD to fit the content into a half hour slot including adverts, so we see the logical progression of the intervention. Its also nice to see ways to tackle tasks when we don't have a main-stealers garage of specialist equipment and have to occasionally improvise. I do recommend that you contact one of the tea-bag manufacturer's to arrange for a product placement deal - you could put on a flat cap, lab jacket and Yawk-shea accent to promote "Edd's Mechanic-Strength Workshop Tetley Tea - served best from a China cup"... Anyone not from the UK is unlikely to get that reference... check out the Tetley Tea-men adverts on You-Tube and you'll understand.

Fascinating to see that some old clunkers are not beyond saving (as long as you have knowledge, experience, creativity, persistence, stubbornness, the right tools and a well-equipped workshop !). What one hears is that current Range Rover engineering and manufacturing will never again produce a car that be brought to life after 40 years of hard driving and neglect. A really excellent channel. Well done all involved.

I used to replace lots of brake pipes on cars when i worked at National Tyres and autocare. My most memorable has to be a vw golf "C" registered. The entire system needed new brake pipes mainly because of the same thing where the pipes join. I did one at a time and kept it connected to an old Lucas brake bleeder machine which i had to disconnect in between. Took a while so luckily he left it with us while he went on holiday. The car is still on the road to this day. This brought back that memory. Great show Edd thank you.

You're absolutely right! Felt that way sinds the beginning. I remember Edd with dark hair and reparing a Ford capri and the Porsche 924. There is something to be said about ''used car salesman'' and ''integrity''. The first chance Mike got he ran of with American producers with cheesy commercial ideas that ruined a good car program. Just like that producer who fired Jeremy from Top Gear. I hate this day and age but God am I thankful that Edd is on his own now! He was genuinely the only interesting factor in that program.

38:06 It was nice of Edd's identical twin brother to help out briefly. No number plates is an instant MOT fail I think (unless you're the Queen!).

I think the 'twin brother', is a nod to one of the early Wheeler Dealers seasons that also featured 'multiple Edds'.

When the MOT tester stops laughing, he's gonna realise that he needs more paper for the fail sheet lol 😆

Brilliant, just bought my first P38 range rover! Can't wait to learn about the faults, It's a Great British icon so I had to get one. Loving your show Ed, the government should teach more about this in schools, a whole generation has been denied this. Hands on experience alongside mathematics and physics you can't go wrong. Keep up the good work!

Using the bender as an angle gauge is a great tip! I always eyeballed the angle and then compared to the old pipe.

Ed is surely more knowledgeable than the average MOT tester… Which makes me wonder why he doesn’t do the pre-mot himself… Either way, this show is incredible… it’s full of facts and the production quality is better than most television problems… bravo to all involved..

I was taught to use a T-bar, not a ratchet for grease nipples, bleed nipples, sparkplugs and injectors. Even rotational force with less chance of angling the socket extension. Love your vids Edd!

A first class mechanic and a first class story teller as well and an all round nice guy. I can see why you’re approaching nearly a million subscribers. Keep up the good work. As I said before, from one 6’5 VW enthusiast to another, feel free to come and play air cooled beetles with me at any time!

I'm just so happy to see you doing exactly what you want to do Edd. Teaching this global community some skills we otherwise would never have exposure to. Thanks for carrying on the show, being the wealth of information you are and interacting with the community. Bravo sir

im here in the U.S.(Michigan) we use salt in the winters one of my projects is a mercury grand marquis, the brake lines have suffered likewise from the years and the car sitting ( its a 1996) I am impressed by the level of expertise it takes to fabricate new lines, my mechanic makes everything seem so easy...

I have made new copper brake pipes, it is easy to do with a hand flanging tool, takes five minutes longer, but not hard. You don't have to be so fussy when running it along the car, as long as it is secured to the body (you can get plastic clips) and it is not hampering or rubbing against anything. Did all the brake pipes on my old car and it sailed through the MOT. It felt a bit spongy after bleeding, but a few hefty pushes on the peddle shifted the bubble of air and it worked its way to where it could be expelled. He commented on the hand brake but it just passed, it improved with use and in the end would lock the back wheels when driving along the road. I think it was just a bit of contamination on the rear brakes. He also commented on one wheel that was feathering a tyre, so he aligned it for next to nothing. He also broke his shifter while trying to loosing a track rod end nut. I tried not to laugh, but failed. He said it had a crack in the jaw of it for ages, it has been a spanner for 30+ years, been hammered on, put on the end of a long pipe with two people pushing on the pipe, it owes me nothing. Been a good shifter, but I was needing a new one anyway. He was quite strict with MOTs, but he lost his licence for them, never found out why!
